e037c4fe0914d8fa9149ce7532c0d70f738e79e9 depends: always configure with --with-pic (fanquake)
Pull request description:
We currently do this sporadically. Not only amongst packages, but across OS's, i.e sometimes it's done for BSDs/Android, and sometimes not.
Configure with `--with-pic` globally instead. I think this generally makes more sense, and should not have any downsides.

e838a9847580527b8321d65e57b1c53cc2af6bf4 depends: re-enable using -flto when building expat (fanquake)
304452558c7f6f5e32ba13d8f05325790c8a4f5f depends: expat 2.4.8 (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Currently, when building the expat package in depends, using `-flto` (`LTO=1`), the configure check can fail, because it cannot determine the system endianess:
```bash
configure:18718: result: unknown
configure:18733: error: unknown endianness
presetting ac_cv_c_bigendian=no (or yes) will help
```
Fix that by defining `_DEFAULT_SOURCE`, which in turn defines `__USE_MISC` (`features.h`):
```c
#if defined _DEFAULT_SOURCE
# define __USE_MISC1
#endif
```
which exposes additional definitions in `endian.h`:
```c
#include <features.h>
/* Get the definitions of __*_ENDIAN, __BYTE_ORDER, and __FLOAT_WORD_ORDER. */
#include <bits/endian.h>
#ifdef __USE_MISC
# define LITTLE_ENDIAN__LITTLE_ENDIAN
# define BIG_ENDIAN__BIG_ENDIAN
# define PDP_ENDIAN__PDP_ENDIAN
# define BYTE_ORDER__BYTE_ORDER
#endif
```
and gives us a working configure.
You could test building this change with Guix + LTO with [this branch](https://github.com/fanquake/bitcoin/tree/lto_in_guix). Note that that build may fail for other reasons (on x86_64), unrelated to this change.

bcff8e21b1bb360c3cf1e1d2e1a2a54ec7581720 build: only pass --disable-dependency-tracking to packages that understand it (fanquake)
Pull request description:
By blanket passing `--disable-dependency-tracking` to all depends packages we end up with warnings (i.e in `bdb` or `freetype`) like:
```bash
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-dependency-tracking
```
Instead, only pass it to packages that actually understand it. Related to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16354.
More info on `--disable-dependency-tracking` available [here](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Dependency-Tracking.html).
This PR also adds `--enable-option-checking` as a configure option to all applicable packages.

Pull request description:
```
We use pkg-config where we can, which generally replaces libtool at a
higher level and does not have the same downsides as libtool. These
archives sit in our depends tree with no purpose and pollute the final
bitcoin build with massive overlinking.
```
See [here](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Handling_Libtool_Archives) for an explanation of the various problems libtool archives can cause.
Unrelated in every way except in spirit: `-D__LIBTOOL_IS_A_FOOL__`!!

Pull request description:
This PR upgrades `expat` and `qt` in depends. The intention is to upgrade Qt in master to the latest point release of the current Qt LTS. This change can then be back-ported to the 0.17 branch (wether it makes it into 0.17.1 or not).
Then, sometime before the 0.18.0 release, we could move to using Qt 5.12+ in depends (which is also LTS). That discussion, as well as minimum supported Qt versions is in #13478.
### Qt 5.9.7
[Release announcement](https://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/10/23/qt-5-9-7-released/)
[Changelog](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70888?filter=20149)
### Expat 2.2.6
* Avoid doing arithmetic with NULL pointers in XML_GetBuffer
* Fix 2.2.5 regression with suspend-resume while parsing a document like <root/>
Full changelog [here](https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_2_6/expat/Changes)
a46c8476e9 disables a bunch of qt features we aren't currently using. This speeds up the qt depends build slightly (also decreases the size of the built `qt-5.9.7` tar by about 2%). The disabling is somewhat unintuitive, hence `[wip]` until after a travis run and gitian build.
